Roof Repairs
We have been repairing roofs for years, and we can handle any size job – no matter how big or small the problem is. We offer emergency roof repairs as well as a range of other services that will keep your home safe and dry during those rainy days ahead.
Roofing Repairs
Roof repair is the process of restoring your roof to its original condition. Valleyside Roofers can identify and correct any issues causing the damage, such as missing or broken tiles, holes in the roofing felt, etc.
Benefits of Roof Repair
There are many benefits to getting a damaged roof repaired rather than replaced – especially when it comes to cost! Valleyside Roofs offers competitive rates for all repairs because we don’t need an entire replacement like some other companies.
Another benefit of roof repair is that we will repair the damaged section of your roof, not replace it. Replacing an entire roof can be costly and is undoubtedly more disruptive than simply fixing what’s broken.
When is Roof Repair Not the Best Option?
While we offer affordable repairs on all types of roofs, including flat roofs, re-designing a defective or outdated structure may be necessary to ensure that your home looks great again!
If you are looking at replacing any sections of your roof (such as old worn shingles), we recommend getting these replaced first so that they don’t cause further damage while working on other areas of the roof.
Types of Roof Repairs
There are many different types of roof repair and many reasons to get each type done. Valleyside Roofers offers:
Emergency roof repairs
If it’s raining, snowing, or windy outside, we recommend not fixing your roof yourself as you could easily slip and fall off the ladder! Call Valleyside Roofers first for a quick response time before any further damage occurs.
Chimney repairs
Valleyside Roofers roofing team is fully qualified to carry out chimney repairs, covering most issues, including; new flashing on roofs or rebuilding crowns.
Chimney re-pointing

Flat Roof Repairs
Valleyside Roofers can repair most types of flat roofs. With Valleyside Roofers, there are no hidden costs involved with repairing a flat roof. The only thing you will need to provide us is water and access to your property.
Strengthening Weak and Sagging Roofs
Valleyside Roofers can strengthen weak roofs by adding membrane or trusses. Our professionals at Valleyside Roofers will be able to tell you which one is necessary based on the roof’s condition and design.
Re-designing of Defective Roofs
Repairing defective roofs can involve replacing shingles that have been damaged by hail, re-slating tiles that are cracked from excessive heat exposure, or using metal flashing underneath even newer sections of a clay tile roof which might be leaking due to ice build-up over winter months. While all these are options, Valleyside Roofers can provide, re-slating tiles or adding metal flashing are the most common.
Factors That Influence Cost of Roof Repair
Necessary permits
We need an access permit if they will have to carry out work at height (i.e., working above three meters). This includes ladders, ropes, harnesses, etc.
The size of the job
How big is the area that needs repair? We advise customers not to put off any necessary repairs because doing so can result in several issues, such as leaks and damage to their homes.
Existing damage
What is the extent of existing damages? The more extensive they are will impact how much money you spend on your roof repair.
Chimneys, skylights, and other structures
Does the roof need significant repairs, or is there just a tiny part of it that needs attention?
The type of roof
What kind of roof do you have? Our roofing team will be able to tell you what type of roof your home has, whether it is a traditional roof or the latest in modern technology. We are knowledgeable and experienced on all types of roofs; our friendly personnel can provide advice based upon their wealth of knowledge.
FAQs
How long will my roof repair take to complete?
We do our best to make sure any work carried out on your home is done as quickly and efficiently as possible.
What causes a roof to wear out?
The roof can wear out for a number of reasons, many of which are due to the environment in which the home is located. Some examples include:
• Heavy rains and wind erosion
• Extreme temperatures (i.e., intense heat or cold)
• Tree sap/leaves that accumulate over time causing lack of protection from ultraviolet rays. We will be able to identify any issues with your system by performing an inspection on every aspect of your rooftop components including drains, flashings, vents etc. This will allow us to recommend more cost-effective solutions if possible, rather than replacing entire systems when only certain components require repair or replacement.
What will it cost to repair my roof?
Once we have inspected your home, our friendly team of experts will be able to give you an accurate quote on the work that needs doing and how much it is likely to cost.
Existing damage
This is a difficult question to answer as it depends on the type of roofing system, its condition, and how it’s been maintained.
However, all roofs will eventually need replacing or repairing at some point in time. The average life span varies depending on your geographical location, but most quality roofs last between 15-20 years under normal conditions. A few factors which can reduce this timeframe are:
• Poorly installed systems
• Inadequate ventilation
• Improper maintenance procedures (e.g., not clearing gutters from debris after heavy storms)
• Faulty installation practices (i.e., nails left exposed instead of hidden behind shingles).
Can I repair my roof myself?
If you know what you are doing, then yes. However, if this isn’t something you’re familiar with, we advise against attempting it yourself because faulty installation can lead to even worse issues down the line.
What’s more, professional contractors have access to all necessary equipment, which means they won’t be delayed by going back and forth for supplies like nails or screws (this alone could cost way more than hiring a contractor).
